I loved this game! pretty slow-paced, but still very entertaining, and I really appreciated how original it was (:

casimps1 2013-08-27 02:23

Ha! Nice one w/ the outhouse.

I liked this overall, but it was frustrating that agents would shoot each other and/or the VIP. It also feels like any skill involved w/ playing the game is heavily overshadowed by luck.

Still, I feel like there's a seed of something awesome in there. :)

Loved the art style and the mechanics. It gets really difficult! Or I just suck at protecting people.

flickta 2013-08-27 02:28

Love the blocky figures of the characters! Following the vip is quite thrilling too, and the fact that you can complete the level even when you are killed is great (that's what bodyguards are for, anyway)

Neat game! Clowns are always evil!

nathanhoffer 2013-08-27 02:37

If it was a bit faster, this would have been my favorite game in this ludum dare. I loved loved loved it though!

roaet 2013-08-27 04:19

LUMBERJACK! Ha. Nice game. I gotta stop playing on my mac. This trackpad isn't fast enough for strategery!

I died for this politician! He better not be corrupt ;) Fun game, have seen this sort of game before.

rmatey 2013-08-27 04:22

Wow this is fantastic. My game is similar to this but very different in execution. Love the strategy you added to this concept.

tigerj 2013-08-27 04:24

I really liked this game. I wish it had more depth please keep working on it after the judging ends. I'd really like to see it extended.

I also really like that music.

rmatey 2013-08-27 05:12

Haha Thanks for playing my game! I had to go back to yours and show my friends, one of my favorites of this jam so far. Since we lost a little Whitney Houston this year its only right to put a little more into the soundtrack ;)

Funny game, the strategic concept of placing the guards at good positions is very well made. Also the music fits well. For future updates, you could let the player stay with the amount of guards left. In other words, if a guard was knocked out a level before, you have one man less for the next round, which would increase the difficulty.

This was actually pretty good! A nice twist on the TD genre I guess. :) The music did not get annoying and the speed of the game was just perfect. It was fun to jump in front of a bullet (or axe). Loved it! :)

kantieno 2013-08-27 11:04

I enjoyed it, I would have kept playing if there were more levels, so I guess it is fun!

pixlwalkr 2013-08-27 13:53

Enjoyed playing the game. Very unique game play. nice simplistic graphics and cool audio.

motty 2013-08-27 17:01

Great little game. Funny, clever, good use of theme, fun to play. Nice one.

kristof 2013-08-27 17:03

Neat little game. I like the minimalistic visuals and smooth music. I think, I sometimes managed to run into my own guys bullet. The gameplay was a bit repetitive, but still fun.

szedouu 2013-08-27 18:12

You did it very well, fantastic game, I want to see post-compo version of it.

unusualcadence 2013-08-27 18:30

Yeah, I totally loved playing this. Great mechanic, favourite moment was a sudden cry of "clown!" and everyone scrambling and then I took a pie in the face

johnathan 2013-08-27 19:10

I really like this! It's cool that the level can be completed after the player "dies".

meta87 2013-08-27 19:47

Haha love the concept and its really fun! Great job

adventureislands 2013-08-27 21:38

Fun concept! Played pretty well for me. Didn't get the guards to shoot each other or the VIP. Nice work! I found the ending hilarious.

archaeometrician 2013-08-28 03:31

Wow ! One of the best gameplay I played ! Really funny ending too ;) Great game, good job ! Please, add more levels !

deepnight 2013-08-28 20:26

Ahah very good idea that fits the theme :)
The ending made me laugh too

moomoo112 2013-08-28 23:13

Interesting game, would have been nice to see more levels and challenges

zillix 2013-08-29 03:42

fantastic aesthetic and awesomely quirky concept. great job!

whiteravens 2013-08-29 04:41

I really like this game :) Well made, and I look forward to more features being added into it!

futuristteletex 2013-08-29 05:27

haha.. pretty fun! liked the concept alot and enjoyed it.. be interested to see what else could be done with the concept if you decided to work on it more after the jam.

nickw 2013-08-29 09:15

I found this from the comments on the Mr President game. I really liked it man! It's pretty hillarious accidently getting shot by your own agents though hahah. Really cool game!

bradleysmith 2013-08-29 23:52

The is amazing, very very good entry! I love the art style and music. Rated this highly. :)

fgielow 2013-08-30 00:44

Nice use of the theme. I like the concept and who you manage to work it.
Well done

futuristteletex 2013-08-30 12:22

This was really fun and a very interesting and original idea.

withoutpillow 2013-08-30 20:16

minimalistic and well executed in almost every way. not very challenging, but the difficulty curve was good so if you choose to extend the game it could get harder. i like that you have to be involved with the game all the way through, from planning to protecting. also, the music.

theholychicken 2013-08-31 04:15

Haha, loved it!
I can see a lot more potential game mechanisms for this concept like crowd chaos, commands to the VIP, bomb threats and the like if you continue to work on this.
Great work!

ratalaika 2013-08-31 10:49

good job

shard123 2013-08-31 18:31

Really well designed, nice work!

mrspeaker 2013-09-01 13:46

LOL - awesome idea... need a bit-o-polish to make it fantastic... like some clue if you're doing ok or not: "RETRY, NEXT". "Wait, did I clear that level or what?!". I feel like the tune didn't quite match the graphical aesthetics either (it's a nice track, but doesn't feel particularly pixel-bodyguard-secret-service-y.

But you really have a cool idea for a game in there - plus you got tower defense worked into LD. WIN!

superfoonly 2013-09-04 02:40

Very nice! So hilarious when the agents shoot through the vip to kill the assassin lol

mrblade 2013-09-15 04:20

Amazing work! Great art! Awesome sounds and music. I love the theme. I always have wanted something like this! I really like it. 10/10.

canvapps 2013-09-17 00:24

at first it looks like graphics are a bit poor but once you play it... really changes your mood about it.
I had to play quite a bit... just fun!
